TRAIN AND THE CHILDREN.

The Eccentric Old Man Chatting with the
Little Ones in Madison Square.
Ny duties take me nearly every day across
Madison square and always made a detour
and stood a minute and listened to Train
talking TO the children He was always
there unless the weather was too bad for his
small friends to be out and then the place
lost its attraction for him In fair weather
he was always to be found on the same
bench, stalwart, handsome figure, clothed
from head to foot in crisp white linen and
name of curling white hair pushed back
from a face that from long exposure had
grown as swarthy as an Indians. He is
| very handsome man, with features bold
and well cut, the skin, though so dark,
smooth and clear, thick, vigorous hair,
strong, even white teeth and a pair of fine,
| large, calm gray eyes. His physical health
was perfect and his cleanliness fairly radiant.
| There was always a crowd about Train, a
| group of children who listened with grave
and respectful attention to his sayings, and
a nursemaid or two and couple Of passers
| by like myself who fingered out of curiosity.
To the adults he was perfectly oblivious He
| affected not even to see us. His hat, which
he never wore, always lay on the bench be
| side him, and his buttonhole was usually
adorned with big bunch of field flowers
presented by some Juvenile admirer. Train
as far as l could gather from his converse
tions with the children, was not insane, fur
ther than he wanted to put mankind's thee
ries into practice.
He did good in his way, sowed some excel
lent seeds in little minds that regarded hi
sayings with reverence. He had way o
lecturing the young ones in his jerky fashion
upon the necessity for clean hands as well a
pure hearts, and used to settle their small dis
putes and administer lectures on loving kind
ness and fraternity, of which, though tn
manner few far above their undevelope

sink into their hearts and may yet brin
